And it begins

So I've always wanted to have a place where I could keep track of my daily running triumphs and foes and since I seem to be pretty decent at keeping our family blog updated I thought I could start another one for running. I know I am the only one who will probably ever read this so it makes it convenient to have a place where I can write about it all, openly. I am currently training for the Cowtown Marathon in February. I have never run in a full marathon before. I am pretty nervous about it all but excited for the challenge. It wasn't until after I had Carson that I really felt the desire to do it. Having a baby is the most empowering experience in the world and I seriously felt like I could do anything after that. I am not hardcore training. I mean, I am on Saturdays but I am going to keep my weekday mileage fairly low because I don't want my training to consume my life. I want it to be something fun that I enjoy. This is where I will write about the running high I get and how today, yes, I could've run forever; also this is where I will complain when I am convinced that I will never lace up my running shoes again. I am also going to include cool running articles that I have read or tips that i have found and my opinions on shoes, gear, power bars, etc. Let the games begin!
